Death Claims Infant Son State Men Win Two Of Five Places In Contest Chicaga Both Utah entries in the fourth annual Philip W. Pillsbury wheat award contests, won national prizes in judging here this past week to give Utah two of five and the committee on Pillsbury Awards for Agricultural Achievement which conducts the contests, now reveals that this is the first time in history that any state has earned this distinction. P. H. Rasmussen of Clarkston, Cache County, won the national reserve championship, with his hard red winter wheat, while Eldred Murphy of Salina, Sevier County, was named as the grower of the nations best soft white wheat during the 1944 crop year. Rasmussen had earlier been named winner of the Pillsbury state prize for the best wheat grown in Utah, while Murphy was second place winner. Their wheat won national honors in competition with the first and second prize winners in similar state contests of 14 major wheat producing states. These contests are conducted by state organizations of the International Crop Improvement Association and state agricultural colleges for the Pillsbury committee. The Utah Crop Improvement Association and Utah State Agricultural College, in sponsorLogan, ing the Utah contest. Rasmussen and Murphy will now receive cash prizes and plaques emblematic of their championships. Like his state, wheat king Rasmussen has earned a unique distinction in the Pillsbury contests. His wheat having won the Utah state contest for four consecutive years, and thus earned entry into the national competition, Rasmussen is the only person to have been represented in every Pillsbury national prize contest since its inception. However, this years selection of his wheat as the next to best in the nation of all types and the best hard red winter wheat during the 1944 crop year, marks the first time he has won a national prize. Rasmussen, with the aid of his sons, operates a 2,000 acre dry farm in Cache County, producing annually 30 to 40 thousand bushels of hard red winter wheat. He is a consistent exhibitor and winner of many firsts at county and state fairs. In contrast, as far as size is concerned, the other Utah winner, Murphy, operates a farm in the rich Sevier valley. He has been tilling this same soil for more than 25 years, having owned and operated this farm for the past 16 years, and prior to that, worked the farm under the managership of his father. Murphy uses a regular rotation plan and averages but seven acres of wheat, with the balance being planted in sugar beets, barley and alfalfa. His 1944 g wheat crop averaged 67 bushels to the acre on six acres. Murphy was one of the first farmers in Sevier County to use certified seed grains, and nearly all of his harvest is sold for certified to farmers in his area. Murphy has plans for establishing his own seed cleaning and treating business, which he hopes will influence the growing of even better wheat in Utah. The Utah grain won national honors against competition that extended as far East as Virginia and Pennsylvania. National championship and the Pillsbury prize was awarded to Jesse E.

For the past two years, Ive been in Italian and German concentration camps. Ive escaped four' times. Twice I was on my way to Germany, once to stand a court martial by a German military tribunal for three previous escapes. Again I escaped. I stayed with the partisans. Eventually, I got back to our own lines. I cried like a baby the first day. Its a wonderful feeling to be free. Clean clothes, three squares a day. I dug into Spam and C rations. Never again will I complain about those. I light up a cigarette and Im asking fellows who Frank Sinatra is, how long has our army been doing this and that, and other questions. Im a stranger. The boys gave me a few Yank magazines and Stars and Stripes. I looked them over, devouring the news, and then I read: "American soldier gets letter from girl friend now engaged to German soldier POW from I couldnt camp in America. believe it, Yank. Then I saw in another one: German prisoners in America have sit down strike Others more: "POWs for day. (Continued on last page) |
